“…In widening a firm’s strategic focus beyond the confines of its national boundaries, the human element becomes paramount (Dowling et al , 2017). Although there has been much scholarly and popular debate on the transfer of management practices in the context of Europe and America, less attention has been paid to Asian countries (Wickramasinghe, 2007). Similarly, limited attention has been paid to understand differences in HRM practices and the transfer of HRM practices in FDI (Wickramasinghe, 2007).…”

“…HRM practices have attracted much scholarly and popular debate in European and American contexts, but less so in transferring and understanding them in an Asian context (Wickramasinghe, 2007).

Purpose This paper aims to examine the implications of high performance work system (HPWS) strength from a managerial perspective and the impact of economic, cultural, political, legal and technological factors on the operationalization of HPWSs in the banking industry in Sri Lanka. Design/methodology/approach The data for this study were collected from three licensed commercial banks in Sri Lanka. This research used a case study approach for data collection with archival analysis of records and semi-structured interviews with the CEO, head of HR, two board members and three focus groups (top, middle and lower level managers across various functional areas) in each bank which altogether covers 66 key informants. Findings The findings supported the research proposition that to gain positive outcomes on organizational effectiveness, there should be a strong HPWS, resulting in a positive attitudinal climate among employees. Further, the findings provide evidence of the global applicability of HPWSs, although more research is needed to clearly specify the contextual boundaries of HPWS effectiveness. Originality/value Contemporary research provides ample evidence to endorse the contribution of high performance work systems toward organizational effectiveness. However, there is a dearth of literature on how high performance work systems are operationalized across the management hierarchy and support the achievement of organizational effectiveness. Few studies have been conducted on high performance work system strength and organizational effectiveness in emerging economies.
